Antique Carnevale Out Now, is Square Enix Styled Chess

Whilst it’s definitely news that Antique Carnevale released today in Japan, and that it looks like a cool blend of RPG and chess, I think that the real news here is that Yahoo! is very popular in Japan. You can play it via the Yahoo! Game Plus service now, and it’s available on PC and mobile. 

A new trailer has been released which you can watch below, but sadly it doesn’t include gameplay.

You can use a camera when facing an opponent (for some reason) as you battle to capture their king piece. As opposed to being standard chess, the pieces follow a combat triangle system similar to Fire Emblem where pieces each have their own strengths and weaknesses. You can summon beasts to help you, as well as collect pieces to create the ultimate team.

Antique Carnivale is out now in Japan, with no word on a Western release.

I’ve been gaming since a very young age and although I can’t remember my very first game, I fondly remember enjoying Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and being giddy with joy once I beat Dr. Robotnik. My all-time favourite game is a tie between Persona 4 Golden and Final Fantasy IX. As you may have noticed, I have a love for JRPG’s although I dabble in all genres. My favourite genres are fighters, visual novels and, of course, JRPG’s. Follow me on Twitter @mitchjaylineham, and check me out on Open Critic as Mitch Jay.
